A “deradicalisation” programme like those given to former terrorists or cult members might be the only way to dissuade some hardcore antivaxxers from their beliefs, according to one psychology expert.
Around six million eligible people in the UK have not received a single jab a year on from the first Covid vaccination being given in the UK.
Professor Stephan Lewandowsky, chair in cognitive psychology at the University of Bristol, was keen to stress that many of those are likely to be “marginalised” people who are “very difficult to reach for anything”, and for whom access is likely to be the biggest issue rather than psychological or ideological factors.
But for a small section of “hardcore refuseniks”, he said, it may be difficult to reach them by conventional means because their beliefs are so ingrained.
He told the PA news agency: “They’ll refuse anything – ‘I’m not going to wear a mask’, ‘I’m not going to get vaccinated’, ‘I don’t think climate change is happening’, ‘Covid is a hoax’, and, you know, ‘Hillary Clinton is actually a reptilian shapeshifter’.
“You’re getting to people who hold a cluster of very exotic beliefs – now, they’re very difficult to reach.”

First, we kill all the bureaucrats.
Waiting...
I was told when very young never to back an animal into an area it could not readily flee.
Yeah, well, you’ll have to take away my guns by force before that happens.

Isn’t he a former Aussie Gorbal Warning NUTCASE?
How about improving the vaccine itself so you don’t have to worry about what others do?
The Indian vaccine was not made using human fetal cells. It is being used in Mexico.
SL is NOT an expurt in ANYTHING.
The Fascists are really coming out of the woodwork now.
What a great idea!
And, Professor Stephan Lewandowsky, the "radical" thing would seem to be allowing yourself to be injected with an experimental genetic substance which may be more harmful than beneficial.
The sound, prudent thing would seem to be exercising patience and observing how the experimental substance affects those who have already been injected with it.
Especially since the experimental injection has been designed to counter a virus with a 99.7%-plus recovery rate.
Professor Stephan Lewandowsky is a propagandist.
Yeah, like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Kooks like that should be confined to an area behind impenetrable walls - we could call it, oh, I dunno, the United States of America?
How do you convince people that you are the reasonable ones? Talk about sending the people who disagree with you to reeducation camps.
That’s a hill I’ll die upon. I’ve had 5he CCP flu and received the monoclonal antibody infusion treatment. Not taking the population reduction kill shot.
The guy who needs deprogramming is Dr. Bolshevikski himself
Hillary as a reptilian shape shifter might be exaggerating a bit. But on the other hand yeah, I could see it.
Like the way they did ISIS returnees? Cool, so you get no penalties, get a rental house and a pension?
Awesome.
Stephan,
I find Joe’s 85-car motorcade, private jets used to get to get-togethers, continued immigration, massive new mansions, etc. incompatible with climate change claims.
